Robert Arneson 1930-1992 • Sculptor ROBERT ARNESON'S propensity for questioning tactics and breaking rules are distinguishing characteristics in postwar American art. A central figure of the California Funk Art movement, Arneson and his peers were eager to distance themselves from the non-objectivity of Abstract Expressionism, and to embrace an unorthodox and sometimes rudimentary formalism that was both strange and refreshing. Arneson created facetious renditions of household wares, anthropomorphic trophies, surrealist self-portraitbusts, and non-utilitarian pots and bricks. Arneson was responsible for generating a pivotal impact on one of art's central roles, that of raising questions in order to change the way we view the world. His piece, “Konk,” from 1978, sold for $126,000 at Wright Auction, Chicago, in February.
